1. Chapter 1

Jasper woke up three days later and realized that he was different. He noticed that his senses had become superhuman and that he was much faster. He also realized that he was thirsty. Not for a glass of water, but for blood. It was then that he realized that those people that bit him were vampires and that he was now one too.

Jasper went into the forest to see what he could find. None of the animals seemed to interest him there so he headed into the town. Shortly after arriving, he saw a girl who he decided was going to be his first meal. He walked up to her and asked her if he could show her where the nearest forest was. Of course this was just a trick to get the girl out of sight of other people.

The girl obliged and esquorted him to the forest where Jasper had just been previously. It was at that moment that Jasper attacked the girl and started to drink. Automatically it seemed as if his mood had improved significantly.

When he had quenched his thirst, he knew that he had to find somewhere shady to stay. He noted that he glittered when he stood out in the sunlight. It was then that he saw someone walking toward him.

"I know what you are" said the figure.

"How do you know this?' Jasper replied curiously.

"Because I am one too. My name is Valery and I can help you become a proper vampire"

"And how do you propose to do this?" asked Jasper.

"It is really simple actually. All you have to do is join my coven." Valery replied.

"What is a coven"

"I'm suprised that you have no idea. How long have you been a vampire, one year?"

"Actually only a few hours or so."

"You have a lot of control for a newborn Jasper." Valery replied with amaze. "All of the newborns I have met can't wait to get their hands on human flesh. You seem to be the only one to have the maturity, ablility, and control of someone who has been a vampire for almost five decades."

"That's nice to know." Jasper said sarcastically.

"It actually is. Let me take you to see the coven and you can decide if you want to become a part of it or not. How does that sound?" Valery questioned.

"You've got yourself a deal Valery. I'll take a look around and see what I think."

"Good idea. Right this way." Valery pointed in a Southwest direction as she said this and they both headed to see the coven.

The path was dirty and the sky was covered in soot. Jasper and Valery walked on said path until they came into the fork in the road.

"What road do you think we should take?" asked Valery.

"I don't know. I have always heard that it was safer to travel in an easterly direction. The problem is that these paths lead south and southwest." replied Jasper.

"A good sence of direction. I like it. I think we should take the southwest path. If we are wrong, we can always turn around and take the south path.
